Fantasia's Overdose -- Aspirin and Sleep Aid

Fantasia Barrino was rushed to a North Carolina hospital last night where she was treated for a "medication overdose" caused by a combination of aspirin and a
sleep aid ... this according to the "American Idol" champ's manager.

According to the report, Barrino was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville around 8:55 PM ... the report says her condition was not life-threatening.

The rep also tells us, "Yesterday, she was totally overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the media attention."

The statement continues,"Last night, Fantasia was hospitalized. She took an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid. Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time. Fantasia is stable now. She will be released from the hospital soon."

According to the report, it's unclear whether the OD was intentional or accidental.

As we previously reported -- Barrino was recently accused by Paula Cook of making a sex tape with her husband and destroying their marriage.

Paula Cook filed for divorce from her husband Antwaun Cook. In the court docs obtained by WCNC,
Paula Cook filed for child support against her estranged husband
Antwaun Cook and cited an alleged affair between Cook and
Barrino. She claims the two met at a T-Mobile store and, beginning in
August 2009, began their "covert adulterous affair."

Cook goes on
to claim, "Throughout the course of their adulterous affair ...
Defendant/Husband and Ms. Barrino have at times recorded their illicit
activity."

Fantasia's lawyer, Gena Morris,
is officially on the attack -- telling TMZ, "Mrs. Cook gratuitously
included claims about Fantasia to sensationalize that litigation and to
insure that her tale would be picked up by tabloids."

Although
the "Cook" tattoo branded above Barrino's heart... that was later
covered up -- and rumors of an affair between Barrino and Cook have been
around for months -- Barrino has always denied the relationship.

Morris added, "The fact that she would seek such publicity in a case involving her children is particularly disgraceful.”

Barrino has claimed she is "not responsible" for the deterioration of the marriage.
